Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's face showed a hint of excitement. " Dean Bing, is this true?"
"Of course." The dean of the Skywater Academy nodded.
Seeing that the dean didn't seem to be joking, Jun Yi's face was full of regret.
"Sigh, Dean Bing, if you had told me this two months earlier, I would have joined Skywater Academy without hesitation. Unfortunately, I had already promised Brother Xue that I would stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Jun Yi shook his head and sighed.
"It's such a pity." The dean of the Skywater Academy also sighed. She hadn't expected Jun Yi to actually join their academy; she just wanted to see if Jun Yi was joking.
From Jun Yi's emotions just now, she could clearly tell that Jun Yi wasn't acting; he genuinely wanted to join Tianshui, which was why she felt a slight sense of disappointment. This was a super genius at level 39 at the age of 12! As long as he didn't die young, he would definitely become Titled Douluo in the future!
"Mom, even if Junior Brother Jun can't join our college, it would be fine for him to come here as an exchange student in the future," Shui Bing'er suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the dean of the Skywater Academy's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's not impossible. Since Jun Yi can control ice elements, he's a good fit for our academy. I'll make arrangements then."
She had decided that even if Jun Yi couldn't join Tianshui, she would still befriend him and maintain a friendly relationship. Perhaps he would still remember this kindness when he truly became Titled Douluo in the future.
"It's getting late, Education Committee Member Meng, Bai, and Zhi, we from the Blazing Fire Academy will take our leave now."
The Dean of the Blazing Fire Academy spoke first.
"Well, have a safe journey, see you at the exchange competition." Meng Shenji and the others saw off the students from Huo Yao and Blazing Fire Academy, followed closely by the students from the Plant Academy, who then boarded carriages and left.
Skywater Academy was the last to leave. Before departing, Shui Yue'er said goodbye to Jun Yi and whispered in Jun Yi ear, "Junior Brother Jun, I still have a lot of pretty socks. I'll wear them for you to see next time."
Then Shui Yue'er waved goodbye to Jun Yi with a smile, got into the carriage, leaving Jun Yi standing there dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Shui Yue'er to say something like that, which made him very curious.
"Junior Brother Jun, see you at the exchange competition." Shui Bing'er greeted Jun Yi and then turned to board the carriage.
After leaving Skywater Academy, the three education committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhi Lin, went directly to Jun Yi and surrounded him.
"Three education commissioners, what's wrong? What happened?"
Jun Yi had no idea what the three men were up to. He only felt that their gazes were like those of hungry wolves staring at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, as if they wanted to devour him whole.
" Jun Yi, when did you break through to level 39?" Meng Shenji asked.
"Just yesterday."
"If I remember correctly, you're not 13 years old yet, are you?" Bai Baoshan asked.
"Yes, I'm still three months away from turning 13," Jun Yi replied.
In fact, Jun Yi didn't know his exact birthday. After all, he had already grown teeth when Qian Renxue found him, so he was probably around one year old. Later, he had to have Soul Master check his bone age to Jun Yi the exact month he was born, but even that was only accurate to the month.
"I am witnessing a rising star! Jun Yi, as long as you cultivate diligently, you will surely become Titled Douluo in the future," Zhi Lin exclaimed.
Meng Shenji, on the other hand, looked impatient and excitedly said, "I must report this to His Majesty and let him know what kind of genius Your Highness Qinghe has found for our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
After saying this, Meng Shenji laughed heartily, turned around and walked towards the Education Commission office, with Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan following closely behind, their faces also full of smiles.
"Hey Little Brother Jun, what's wrong with the Education Commission?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling asked as they approached.
"I'm just so happy," Jun Yi replied.
What's making you happy?
"I'm happy that the academy has a genius like Sister Yanyan," Jun Yi replied.
"Now I know why you can chat so well with that group of girls from the Skywater Academy," Dugu Yan said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
"Mmm." Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
"Is this what you call being glib? I'm calling it witty and clever talk!"
Jun Yi, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling returned to the academy chatting and laughing...
In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, in Xue Qinghe's bedroom, Xue Qinghe was holding a medal-like object. When he channeled his Soul Power into it, a blue Soul Power protective shield appeared around him.
"Is this the Defense-Model Soul Tool Jun Yi made? It certainly looks extremely ingenious, but how did this end up in that woman's hands?"
Xue Qinghe muttered to himself as he looked at the mass of black mist.
"Miss, when I went to the Spirit Hall this time, the Pope not only gave me this, but also wrote you a letter. Would you like to take a look?" With that, a letter floated out of the black mist and flew into Xue Qinghe's hand.
"That woman actually wrote to me? I've been undercover for 13 years, and she's never asked about my situation. Why would she write to me now?"
Xue Qinghe's tone carried a hint of resentment, but he was still somewhat excited, wanting to know what his mother had written for him.
Xue Qinghe opened the letter, which contained only a few lines: "At all costs, get Jun Yi into the Spirit Hall. This boy will be of great use."
"Oh."
After reading the letter, Xue Qinghe sneered, and a ball of golden flame appeared in his hand, burning the letter to ashes without leaving any trace.
"I never imagined her first letter would be about an outsider." Xue Qinghe chuckled again, picking up his Defense-Model Soul Tool and muttering to himself, "The more you try to win him over, the less I'll let you have him."
"Miss, I heard that this Soul Tool was made by the orphan you took in?" the voice in the black mist inquired. "How exactly did he do it? He's never left the palace since he was a child. Could it be that he really is the so-called 'savior'?"
Xue Qinghe continued observing the Soul Tool and replied, "Uncle She Long, those were just rumors I spread. However, the fact that Jun Yi can forge Soul Tool is indeed very suspicious. The simplest explanation is that Jun Yi comes from a reclusive family that can forge Soul Tool, and he was born with the inheritance of Soul Tool."
Xue Qinghe said calmly, which was the most reasonable explanation she could come up with. The main reason was that Jun Yi had grown up in the palace since he was a child, and Xue Qinghe accompanied him every time he left the palace, which ruled out the possibility of him obtaining the inheritance later in life.
Qian Renxue inherited the Celestial Master Lineage, and her Innate Soul Power reached level 20. By analogy, it's quite normal for Jun Yi to have family inheritance from a young age and the ability to forge Soul Tool.
Xue Qinghe said coldly, "I never imagined that a pawn that was once dispensable, used to enhance one's reputation, would grow to this extent..."
